Only in the Silicon Valley. In fact, this would be perfect for the hit HBO show. A woman cleaned out her garage and found a gem belonging to her late husband. But she had no idea. She's owed a lot of money, but no one can find her. NBC Bay Area’s Ian Cull reports. (Published Saturday, May 30, 2015)

An older woman did not realize her unwanted computer remains were valued at $200,000 after she dropped off the boxes at an electronic recycling shop.

"She dropped off a couple boxes like that,” said Clean Bay Area Vice President Victor Gichun.

Gichun says the woman cleaned out her late husband’s garage and dropped off two boxes. She didn't want a tax receipt, and didn't want to leave her contact information.

"We really couldn't believe our eyes. We thought it was fake,” Gichun said upon digging through the boxes a few weeks after they were dropped off.

In case you’re thinking of running down there to collect a check, Gichun knows what she looks like. He just doesn’t know her name. Now he wants to find this mystery woman to thank her, and make her rich.
